  • I'm still waiting for Tim Tebow to say this after one of his miraculous comebacks...

    "I'm not left handed"

  • 2:30-2:35, why did he wait for the sword to land? lol 

  • @Wizz3322 It is always honourable in swordplay to let your opponet re-aquire their weapon after disarming them. Thats why you don't usually see it happen in movies: the fighters hate eachother so much they just want to kill them. Here, they admire each other and have no reason to hate one another, so they have reason to uphold their honor.

  • @Wizz3322 They also USUALLY go with the three strikes policy, which is why he only lets Inigo rearm himself after being disarmed twice. Not often, but sometimes.

  • A reminder when movies were great and for a short time dreams come true.

  • I used to be able to fight left handed.... then i took an arrow to the knee...... hmmm does that even make sense...

  • Bob Anderson, sword master and old world gentleman, who choreographed this scene and taught the actors, has passed away. There are no stunt fighters, only for acrobatics. A great loss to the industry and art.

  • I'm left-handed and I approve this scene.

  • Who would dislike this?

  • Six people aren't decent fellows. I'd love to kill them.

  • I must get this movie.

  • Rapier is the pinnacle, perfection of swordfight.

  • Oh how I wish I could fence like them.

  • A fencer could whip any scotsmen into shape. Claymores had heavy impact but in a duel, a rapier's speed and the wielder's skill would prove more than a match. In the end, the historic fencer with the rapier wins against any katana wielding samurai, broadsword wielding knight, or claymore wielding scot highlander.

  • @kingofladies04 I bet.

    I would believe the heavy crushing swords, but to say that a man wielding a Rapier would easily beat any Samurai is a bit...foolish.

  • @PwnZoneification I said they'd probably win not easily would. I'm not saying any rapier holder would win. Only a master. Samurai were skilled but in truth, are overrated. They were trained to do quick draws and an elongated 1st move and little after that. Fencers could dodge, block, and parry at a fast rate. He would prolong the battle. This agility would eventually make him the victor but the samurai is most worthy in comparison to the other swordsmen.

  • @kingofladies04 Yeah, it's good that you're comparing a master to a Samurai who only knows how to draw his weapon fast.

  • @PwnZoneification I'm not saying that draws are all they are good for, but that is their training technique. Anyway, they are over glorified in films. Fencers would tire them out and beat them in the long run. But in any fight where you're picking people off and killing as quick as possible then perhaps the samurai wins there, but in a duel I'd place my money on the fencer any day. I'm not the only 1 either. Ask GoblinsnHobbits and Bamlatty, they seem to plead similarly to my case.

  • @kingofladies04 Have you ever see the duel in Rob Roy, it does show your argument is slightly a little bit flawed

  • @wedgeantillies66 I love the duel from Rob Roy and the claymore was very powerful as shown but Cningham was the better swordsman. He deserved to die, but he beat Rob Roy in the duel. rob Roy was unarmed but grabbed the blade to win. If Cunningham had fought Rob Roy in any other playing field not on the battlefield, he'd have won. Thus, my point is made, rapier for the win.

  • @kingofladies04 You make some good points, however despite the movie duel I mentioned I think in reality you be able to find any reacords of fencing swords against claymores, so you could never really know how would win out unless you try it out with real weapons. Also I agree that on battlefield you want the claymore instead of a fencing sabre anyday.

  • @wedgeantillies66 claymores can pick people off and break through lines and charge and such. You are also right in that I have no historic proof of a rapier victory over claymore anyday but rapier was designed for single combat. Parry and thrust for hours was the intention. Claymores were supposed to finish in a single blow. Balance is important but so is weight. That is why I say in duels, rapier, in battle, claymore. My argument was toward duels and that is where I standby.

  • @kingofladies04

    Your arguments fall flat when you try to use a claymore in a land battle in Asia when fighting a Sicilian when death is on the line!

  • @p3rs0nan0ngrata lol you got me there, land battles fall short. In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.

  • @kingofladies04

    I gladly accept, sirrah.

  • @p3rs0nan0ngrata Isn't it start a land war in asia, not claymore? It's meant to mean, you just can't win if you start a fight in Asia.

  • @wedgeantillies66 Cningham=Cunningham*

  • omg they r the real actors

    

  • Actually the best sword ever is not the katana or the rapier. The Scottish claymore was scientifically proven to be the best sword. Why? I have no idea. If you find out, let me know.

  • @dansalvatori1974 even though the claymore was a massive sword if used right and with skill it could cut through any armour even the knights armour, the scots needed something that could beat the knights armour and a claymore works hell it was used as a anit-horse weapon too . only down side to it was the size which tired most average scots out fast so very few were actually used, most famous to use one was william wallas if im not mistaken

  • i used to watch these sword fights when i was a kid :D and yet i still come back again and again :) awesome movie

  • "Please understand I hold you in the highest respect." A classic line that goes to show the Dread Pirate Roberts'/Westley's class.

  • This is a cool sword fight, and one of the best scenes in any movie really.

    But as far as swords go, the katana is the best sword ever

  • @OutlawSprocket people who study swordplay tend to agree that a western fencer would destroy a samurai, armor or no, as the rapier blade was designed to wear the opponent down, and the katana relies on one shot kills. The rapier user would be able to draw the samurai out into long, pitched combat in most cases, and in this arena, he is the clear victor.

  • @OutlawSprocket Sorry to break your Eastern Fantasy Myth Bubble, but a fencer is a superior warcraft than any Asian discipline.

  • I want to do this scene for my schools talent show

  • at 0:58 we can clearly see he's jumping on a mattress :D also at 1:01 , anyways good fencing

  • It is my goal that through my filmmaking, i will bring these type of movies back to hollywood.

  • Inigo - "You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you."

    Man In Black - "You seem a decent fellow, I hate to die."

  • Nice swordfight, but not a realistic one. Before any of you flame me, consider that they aim only at each other's swords and don't strike anywhere else or use feints. It's an entertaining scene but real fencers don't fight that way. By real fencing I mean the actual European martial arts, not Olympic fencing.

  • @dragondisaster You'll find not even olympic fencing would look like the above. i've done fencing and you are 100% correct, this isn't fencing it is simply stage fighting. It's put together to look cool and, let's face it, it works. A hell of a lot more entertaining than watching proper fencing. A lot of the time in fencing you need to work out what your opponent is likely to do AND what you are intending to do before the bout begins because it's so quick you cannot hope to just react.

  • @dragondisaster Very true.

    Consider this though - neither has any reason to try to kill each other. They each want only to test each other's skill with the blade, and their knowledge of swordplay.

    I imagine they simply want to enjoy themselves - and they earn each other's respect.

  • from this movie I see perfectly why rapier is not a match for a saber.

  • I got to watch this for a Criminal Justice class.. I think it's fitting.

  • 5 people have six fingers on their left hand

  • You seem like a decent fellow I hate to kill, You seem like a decent fellow I hate to die.

  • I use the left handed line all the time in ping pong

  • It was between Shawshank and Princess Bride. After watching this scene again, Buttercup wins.

  • I love this movie...my dad studied stage sword combat like that and the style he used to teach me was alot like this...its cool to see it in full form

  • Four people are left handed.

  • @KoachKrab127 no they are six fingered ... 

  • "I'm not left handed, either."

    Ultimate "OH SNAP" moment.

  • I have taught myself to play racquetball amidextrously in hopes that one day i will be playing left handed and set myself up to say "i am not left handed"

  • and why are you smiling? "because i know something you don't know" nd what would that be? " i am not left handed!"

  • You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die

  • The 4 people who don't like this don't know what real men are.

  • lol, look at indio's face at 0:55

  • @UncleRed1234567 hahahahaa

  • i freakin LOVE this swordfight :D

  • @ 1:58

    ...show off...

  • WHY ISN'T/HASN'T CARY ELWES BEEN A BIGGER STAR?...HE OWNZ ALL IN EVERYTHING HE'S BEEN IN OVER THE YEARS...

  • they are both ampredectrious! ( i didnt spell that right but o well)

  • Im ambidextrous! lol

    

  • ❁ ❁.....thts awesome LOL!

  • ❁umm...cool wicked scene!

  • u should of started it when wesley was still on the cliff

  • Good LORD... Carey Elwes get in me right now.

  • Rob Reiner said on the Kevin Pollak show that Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin did all of their own swordplay. Which I find amazing. Of course, they probably used stunt people for the flips and stuff, but you can see at 1:53 that Patinkin did that jump from the bar himself.

  • The fight was ok, except for the weird stuff at 2:20. I liked the preceding part where Inigo pulls up the man in black, gives him time to rest, and lets him handle his father's sword before starting the fight.

  • Were it not for the fact that they are opponents, these two would probably have been the best of friends. Worthy opponent - a very interesting concept played with in this movie, and one that made this duel, already excellent, a very dramatic scene.

    What a great film.

  • @NicholasGeschke They become best friends by the end of the film.

  • mortal kombat!!!

  • You wanna troll each other? Both of you spell horribly "sword user" really? It's a rapier swordsman and for two it is PARRIES as well as "shove" not shuve" if you want to insult each other do it at the play date your parents make for you. Jesus Christ, if you're going to troll do it intelligently.

  • @GABowie

    dude intelligent trolls is the last thing the internet needs :P

  • @RemusLupo Well, i admit i troll on occasion but its fun to do it intelligently and watch some moron try to insult you...its like someone trying to get Bill Cosby to hit them...it just won't work

  • @GABowie Truly. Sometimes I wonder if the parents of some of these trolls were related - like, before they were married.

  • @GABowie For someone mocking two people about their inelegant language, you make a fair number of grammar errors yourself.

  • "Who are you?"

    "No one of consequence."

    "I must know."

    "Get used to disappointment."

    Awesome.

  • I know something they don't know... I am left handed. What now.

  • @hrc071995 There's something I ought to tell you. I'm not left handed either.

  • @Khajmer Well that's unfortunate, because I've been mostly dead all day, so fighting this duel left- handed ought to be a challenge for me.

  • just as i thought, wait they're both left handed, they go blow that bombshell!

  • it's funny how they are so polite in the three fights hahaha x)

  • Such witty banter makes me want to swoon. I'm not even a swooning type of girl either.

  • Its like watching a zorro film i used to do fencing did it for 2 years and then i went on to do kendo and tai kwon do and did that fo 9 years i still do kendo now and then

  • Its like watching a zorro film

  • Please understand I hold you in the highest respect.

  • the dialogue in this is brilliant!

  • if you want to see real fencing look up zorro don diego vs el capitan

  • me and myfriend at school did this act for our telent show exept the bar part

  • hahaha i love that epic sword walk from wesley @ 2:37 xDDDD

  • hahhaha.... when i watched this movie in 1990 i thought it was zorro. later in 1992, i only realized the movie title.

  • Their convo before that start fighting is great and even throughout their fight they seem like they are just having fun

  • why do they call it fencing anyway? Anybody know the word origin?

  • Did he kill him at the end, or just knock him out?

  • @ClassicCartoonsGuy Dude, check the movie. It's great!

  • @ClassicCartoonsGuy listen to the dialogue and stop wasting virtual ink

  • @ClassicCartoonsGuy he just knocked him out

  • I like how he starts twirling his saber at 1:50 saying "go on, go!"

  • this is one of my favorite scenes - especially the dialogue and humour and Wesley's dour comments

  • with I (flem) have! lmao and who are you, I must know....get used to disapointment...(simply) okay lmao again

  • Whomever watches this for pleasure of a fighting scene really needs to leave 1987

  • @sodazv06 as opposed to the 2011 version of the fight scene? trench coats, sunglasses and kung-fu?

    Seriously, it's in every movie.

    If you ever insult this movie again, I'm taking away your internets.

  • @indrim You can just lick my balls

  • @sodazv06 enjoy a down-vote, you vomitous mass!

  • @indrim "Vomitous mass" OMG please don't call me a RATS while your at it.

  • The greatest sword fight ever! NUFF said!

  • The greatest sword fight ever!

  • lovin the T-stance at 2:27 :)

  • "I admit, you are better than me." "Then why are you smiling?" "Because I know something you do not." "Oh? What is that?" "That I, am not left handed!" I literally lol'd.

  • alot of times when people ask me my name, i say 'my name is indio montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die'

  • Comment removed

  • "Please understand, I hold you in the highest respect..."

  • " why aer you smiling?"

    "because i know something you don't know"

    "whats that?"

    "I am not left handed"

  • and they say fencing is a pussy sport but when its to the death its not so pussified anymore

  • @cantquitwontquit45 Okay, I have to give you a thumbs up just because you actually used "pussified" in a sentence. LOL

  • @cantquitwontquit45 i think it should be done to the blood (first cut ends round) just cause having that armor stuff and fake sword = pussy but if you get cut = MANLY.

  • @cantquitwontquit45

    Its about fenece not strength, however its showboating fencing, real fencing is with a dagger aswell.

  • @AxelDuel

    What, exactly, is "fenece" ? o_0

  • @BrAiNiAc0508

    its the skill that fencers use, choping with the elbow estead of with the entire arm, using wrist movements rather then hands. Precise Perries, thrusts and stabs with alot of speed and reflex behind it, not strength. Its what makes a rapier sword user great!

  • @AxelDuel

    *whooshing sound* "Finesse" <---the word you were looking for.

  • @BrAiNiAc0508

    wooshing sound?, what are you fucking 12?

  • @BrAiNiAc0508

    hey Wannabe Superman villian, shuve your vocabulary up your fucking asshole... Douchebag troll

  • @AxelDuel

    This is the internet, you must be new here. Try this: spell check something before you write it. You accuse me of being juvenile and then fill your response with expletives AND more spelling errors? Good job fucktard. Go back to your room and pout.

  • @BrAiNiAc0508

    Im not gonna get into some lame argument with a silly little troll. Now go pout on that. I dont give two shits about proper grammer, so shuve it up your cock sucking asshole..

  • @AxelDuel

    Wow, you sure have a thing for taking it up the ass...and if you're into that then I guess good for you? But, nobody here asked about your sex life. You should probably keep that to yourself. And as for you not giving a shit about "grammar" (or spelling, or logic...) you've made that painfully clear. Me, a troll? Damn, you really are as stupid as your posts suggest...

  • @BrAiNiAc0508

    Yawn, you done there kiddo...? 

  • @cantquitwontquit45 Well, olympic fencing is not the same thing as the fencing of old. 

  • @cantquitwontquit45 Who says fencing is a pussy sport? The obviously don't know what a pussy is.

  • @cantquitwontquit45 Try fencing for real and tell me it's a pussy sport when you get smacked with a 3 foot length of steel...

  • @cantquitwontquit45 and it becomes awesome when it's to the pain.

  • @cantquitwontquit45 Fencing is a "pussy" sport only if you consider being covered in bruises (or giant welts if we're talking saber) to be for pussies.

  • @cantquitwontquit45 no.. its still a pussy sport

  • @cantquitwontquit45 nah footballs a pussy sport .. they say its manly but they still wear pads ... I dare them to play rugby

  • didnt they have two master fencers swich out with them for this scene?

  • @BEoredJordon62 No. According to the DVD commentary, the only time doubles were used was when they twirled around the bar towards the end. If you notice, Cary Elwes (the Man in Black) switches hands in the middle of fighting at the 2:41 mark.

  • @BEoredJordon62 No they trained with a master fencer for months (Yes im the nerd who watched special features on a movie older than me)

  • @Schmittysniper I DID IT TOO. We are kin!

  • @Schmittysniper same here i must have heard them rong though

  • @crimsonlonely tvblinkx

  • I expect you think I'm going to attack with Capo Ferro!

  • @HeroicToast it's a comedy

  • I've always loved the fact that they discuss their moves like their playing a game of chess.

  • This was the first movie sword fight I remember seeing as a kid. After I saw this I judged all other sword fights using this as a standard. Any sword fight I saw had to be just as good or better.

  • "Get used to disappointment."

    "Ok..."

  • I have a few things to say...

    1. Yes, those are training swords, no, they are not rubber, yes, weapons of that type do bend fairly easily, but this is a GOOD thing for weapons of that type.

    2. This is not real fencing. It is a send up of Hollywood swordplay; look up 'flynning' on TVtropes.org and you will understand. That said, small bits and pieces of it are quite good.

  • "You seem a decent fellow, I hate to die"

    Such modesty :D

  • This scene is so awesome I think the amazing thing is that Mandy and Cary actually did it all themselves it makes me want to take up fencing now

  • "Kill me Quickly"

  • Fencing is an art, a dance of blades and this really captures it.

  • @hylianrider

    Fencing is usually over in about 10 seconds and there's not a lot of dance. This scene is a pastiche. The dialogue shows the creators knew quite well what fencing is and isn't and just made a pastiche of the most typical Holywood scenes.

  • This part was so epic, and so true to the book!

  • The swords are rubber. Look at how they bend so easily.

  • @demeandr121 Those swords aren't rubber. Training swords for fencing are very flexible so when you lunge at your opponent its bends on contact and not go thru them.

  • is it me or does the audio seem slightly off? just very slightly though

  • "Inconceivable!!!!"

  • @louthleviathan you always using that world, i do not think it mean what you think it mean.

  • Cary Elwes as The Man In Black <3

    and

    Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya <3

  • Me and my friend have this down to a t - took us a while, but i have been perfecting my spanish accent ever since!

  • @crimsonlonely You can go to this place called the internet and grab a torrent, but that would be illegal/immoral/letting the terrorists win.

    Other than that, check out amazon.com, they might have ti.

  • @KillaHaakon or netflix  :)

  • @highlandbreez

    Is netflix available outside the US now?

  • I love the way he says: I must know!

  • fuck ads

  • Mike Florio is a DOUCHE BAG!

  • @HawgNSonsTV2 ... Mike Florio is jealous Lord Favre didn't send him the pictures of his cock!
